Guest guest Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I think drs. don't really know the cause. If you have the symptoms, fatigue. trigger points, etc. they just label it fibro. I think they are many different causes. For my wife it was a allergy to gluten. And for that if the road you are traveling to recovery is not working you need to take a different road.  The HCG diet has been banned in the US. You can still buy online until the supplies run out. Google for info. I know it works and my wife is an example. ________________________________ To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Friday, May 18, 2012 4:45 PM Subject: Re: Alan: HCG diet  Thank you so much for your share Alan, this all makes a lot of sense to me. I have said many times we are all misdiagnosed and far more seriously poorly than doctors think we are I am very interested in the part of your share where you have mentioned the HCG diet. I too am on a ketogenic diet and having enormous success with it. If you have time please share more about what your wife is doing Love Joanne Alan said.......  My wife was diagnosed fibromyalgia 5 years ago. She went to doctors with her health deteriorating, much weight gain, gall bladder removal and knee problems that doctors recommended knee replacement saying all was fibro related. Being 42 I thought there had to be a alternative. I researched other alternatives and decided to go with a new alternative called prolotherapy. This dr. told her he didn't think she had fibro and tested her for gluten intolerance, hormone in balance and thyroid. She test positive for all these even though her other doctors had tested for these they showed negative. Her doctor recommended the hcg diet in which he is on, go on a gluten free diet, take thyroid medication, hormone medication and prolotherapy injections in her knees which is extremely painful. Started july 2011 and lost 68 pounds, no more fibro type pain, sleeping really great and knees are not better but no pain as long as she don't over do it. She still undergoing prolo. But feels great.  Just letting everyone know just in case of a misdiagnosis and hope it helps someone.                                   Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
